shoehorn sbc and t-56
Just wanted to see if anyone here has done this. I am taking my entire car apart and thought it might save time of I don't have to take the tranny of the motor.

Yes, I have done it, with the distributer cap on. I had to take the radiator out, and have one person under the car [on a lift] pushing the tail of the transmission down.
I'm not sure it could be don't on jackstands, the transmission has to point over 45* down

I will be ready to pull the motor and all in a week or so. Dizzy will be off, radiator will be out, no fans, but the car is just on jack stands. I will post some pics and you guys can give your final verdict

That's how I have done it in the past as well.

I have to drain the tranny right? I think I have a vague memory of tranny fluid spilling out the tail shaft last time I talked it a lot, like to shoe it in

I put the rear of the car on ramps then set a skateboard or a moving dolly under the car for the tailshaft to sit on on so it doesn't scrape the floor
